We are rather inclined to the opinion
that the editor OF the Union is little off
about the Monroe and Colony boys. The
little fellows who witness games of base
ball. while disposed to guy anybody and
everybody, certainly do not mean to insult
anybody. The worst feature ofthe Unions
article, however, is to create the erroneous
belief that the larger boys, or young men
of Monroe countenanced and even INDUCED
in throwing vile epithots at our friends of
the Colony.

UP TO the present the range cat tie industry has experienced no great losses from any contagious disease. To the average westerl.
 cowman, such diseases as pleuro- pneumonia, foot and mouth dis ease, etc. are contemplated with a serene indifference, arising from the immunity he has hitherto enjoyed from any losses A great epidemic among the plains cattle, and the consequent ruin of thousands of stockmen is as far from realization to his mind as an eruption of Vesu- vius, or an earthquake in China, In the fancied security of a dry eli mate and a hardy class of cattle, he is apt to put down anything he hears of pleuro-pneumonia ns af- tecting the eastern stock farmer rather than himself or at best 10 be newspaper talk. He is too far away from any centers of disease to be- come more than languidly inter ested in the subject of contagious bovine diseases. Soon, perhaps, he may be rudely awakened from his dreams of security, when pleu- ro-pneumoma is an established fact on the western ranges; when he hears first of cattle in the adjoin- ing territory dying by thousands, then of his neighbors herds being decimated, then. when it IS too late he will curse the torpor which held
 him down, and the apathy that caused neglect of all precautions to
 prevent disease being introduced.
 The Australians had their conf- dence in a dry climate shaken to the tune of many millions of dol lars, and probably feel the truth of the old adage, that "an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure," very keenly. Let us keep our eyes open, and give our hearty support to any measures which may be taken to prevent the dreadful scourge of pleuro-pneumouia being introduced into tie western range.

The outlook for our stock men during the present year is bright, the calf crop Of 1886 was over the average, and the range Is better than it has been for some years. Cattle arc going through the win ter in good condition. and no heavy losses are anticipated. Stockmen are hopeful that the price of beef will improve when the St. Louis stock yards are open and the Chi cago monopoly broken. There is a chance too that the large compa- nies will be through flooding the markets with dividend cattle" in the shape of half matured steers and thin cows.
 Money is scarce, but the cOwmen feel good and look forward to a prosperous year. The Legislature now Ill session will probably pass some bills of great benefit to tine stock interests, particularly one dealing with the introduction ot diseased cattle into the Territory. We may congratulate the stock men of Apache county on the good prospect for the future of their business.

not, nor do we care, but we intend 10 lay before the people as accu- rately as We know how the facts in the matter. We own but few dol lars or interest in St. Johns. and We have not made a mistake by fo- cusing our ''retina" upon 1t when we say 1t comprises nearly one third of the population of Apache county. It Is a fact, whether it looks big or not. and beyond this. ii is more convenient to the people of Show Low, Taylor, Snowflake, Mineral. Concho, Springerville and Nutrioso, (which represents more than two-tlnrds of the population of the county) than any place on the railroad. This may look big too. but 1t is another fact. It may bc that all of us are not white or intelligent. However, some of us are white, and some few of us are endeavoring to absorb a little of the latter, even though We be deprived of railroads, telegraph or telephone lines of communication, which is a misfortune, not a fault.
 Apache county is nearly 300 miles long, north and south, and about 100 miles wi,le; of this, there is nearly one-half of the county north of the railroad, or north of the 35th parallel, in which, outside of few Indian tribes there is neith- CT population or assessable proper ty, emitting settlements on the railroad, there is not north of this line twelve men who pay taxes, and here is a territory consisting of nearly 5000 square miles, which no doubt the people would willingly give to these Hearts of Pharaoh's" whose energies lead to an aniety of making new county.
 1 We do not claim the settlements along the railroad are unimportant or unintelligent; but we do say, that a county seat can be located iii no county, but what 1t will be in- convenient to some of the people, and the only way in which the mat ter can be adjusted IS to locate it where 1t will bo most convenient to the majority of the people. We believe this to be to the welfare of the people and universal custom, and not 'mystifying" but lucid in every particular. We arc aware there were some few fraudulent voters in St. Johns, and this iS~as outrage which all honest citizens here tried to checkmate, and have done so to great extent. If We were to look at the great register, as suggested, we would see 153 reg istrations and 74 voters in Wins low, SD in this respect Winslow has no advantage over some other of her sister precincts. Reduce the taxation and protect the peoples property, this is spirit of fair ness and equity" this is what the people want, and not to be taxed to death to maintain and run another county.

'ITIs eminently proper that ques- tions concerning the public welfare should be discussed in our local papers," so says Mir. E.

 Following this, Mir. Carr states by discussion he did not mean
 abuse or slurs, but an earnest and
 careful consideration of these ques- tions in the spirit of fairness and equity" That this is a good maxim
 when adhered to, no one can deny, and fair consideration of the
